Reflections from Seminary Students

You formed the cosmos and all that is within. You spoke your creation into motion. And when you saw it was good; we were good, you rested. You ceased. Help me to understand what it means to stop, to refrain from the busyness that has caused me to forget–us to forget–that you have called us sons and daughters–not slaves. Renew in us a desire to rest in you.

Busy and Proud of it?I am guilty of speaking openly about my busyness.

Downton Abbey is an Emmy award winning Series from creator Julian Fellowes (Godsford Park). The series focuses on a British family during the short years between the sinking of the Titanic and the start of World War I. The show is about the social and political entanglements of the Crawley Family, whose patriarch is the Earl of Grantham, as well as the extensive house staff for Downton Abbey itself. Like Madmen, Downton Abbey is dialogue rather than action based and has a slower feeling than many modern shows.
